It has "6!!!" inversions now. The reason why the brakes were added to the front spike and the front spike is so long is so that you can be shot through the barrel roll each time, and yes that is a 360 degree revolution, forwards and backwards.

Yes, SFMW can now market this coaster as having inversions. Inversions are considered as such at those angles.. look at the B&M Zero-G rolls, they are basically the same as V2s inversion. Since it cycles 3 times, that would make it have 6 inversions...

JoNoJ27 - sorry, you're wrong. As the train passes over the top of the roll, riders will most certainly be inverted in relation to the ground. This inversion is not much different than a B&M zero-G roll.

To answer the original question: there is ONE inversion element on the new V2, but riders will invert 6 times.
